The
Linnet's Nest
Sir
Edward has left Portsmouth for his home in Cornwall, but he is
certainly not forgotten. The woman he left behind faces many
changes
in her life, but she is consoled by the love of her steadfast father
and of her dashing sister, as well as some very warm memories of Sir
Edward himself. A couple of boys in blue put in a cameo
appearance. More
or
Less a Sequel to The Dearer Shore.

Bowles' Last
Ride
Story

heads south to rendezvous with his ship's company, and is blessed to
find aid and comfort along the way.
The Theory of
Relativity
co-authored with Juliet
It is
perhaps not well known that the size of a naval officer's spyglass
bears a direct relationship to "that part of a gentleman's anatomy
which members of the fair sex find to be of most significance to
themselves." And how does a lady assure that the object of her
affection possesses a suitable telescope? Why, by making him a gift, by
interceding with his superiors, or, if all else fails, by way of a
little coercion. All is revealed in a series of very, well, revealing
letters.

The Maid on

August 2005 ~ Posted 29 May 2006)
This piece is part of a “pass the pen challenge” on HHaH. The
challenge isn’t finished, but I’m so fond of Charlie Hammond that I
couldn’t resist posting it here. A grand ball at the home of
Admiral Pettigrew is the scene of some very strange -- and rather randy
-- goings on. Among the guests are the Pellews, and
Lieutenants Bracegirdle, Hornblower, and Kennedy, not to mention Black
Charlie himself, who has an unexpected meeting with a woman from his
past.
